Mafia families began to arrive in Japan. Tsuna together with his guardians will skip going school for a week; Dino was the one who arranged this idea since he's still a part of the faculty. By this time, Irie invited Tsuna to view the Vongola base being constructed in Namimori by the command of the Ninth. The construction began after the Ninth was able to grab hold of the memories of their fight in the future, the Ninth certainly prepared the base as his gift for the next successor of Vongola but he did not expect a problem to happen quite soon after the Arcobaleno incident. It was Irie who proposed that the youngsters could be transported in the base since there are only quite a few people who know about the base being constructed. Tsuna together with Gokudera, Yamamoto and Ryohei walked in awe inside the base as they listen to Irie talking about the new enhancements made for it.

"Woah! It looks identical to the place we were in when we battled Byakuran!" Tsuna said eyeing each and every corner in the base.

"Boss, are we going to live here again?" Gokudera asked.

"A-ah, no… the youngsters will be the ones who'll be living here" Tsuna replied. They proceeded from hallway to hallway and from floor to floor. Irie continued talking about the enhancements made for the base while the four just listened, stared at the base in awe and thought about the youngsters that would live in the base in a week's time. Irie was about to finish his talk when an idea occurred to Ryohei and asked Gokudera about the matter.

"Still, when you talk about youngsters, what do you think Octopus-head?"

"There's nothing more to think, we just need to protect them Turf-top" Gokudera said.

"I mean what if some of them were actually our kids in the near future?" Ryohei said. The moment he said that, Tsuna and Yamamoto stopped their thoughts about what could have happened in the future. Gokudera was also shocked by Ryohei's question. By the looks of their faces, Ryohei could see that the idea did not occur to them, that these kids could very well be their offsprings.

"W-What?! There's no way I would be having kids. My loyalty is for the boss alone, I don't need to have any distractions!" Gokudera said firmly.

"Well, you don't know that Gokudera… anything could happen in a span of 25 years" Yamamoto said with a grin

"S-Shut-up baseball freak!" The three of them pretended to brush off the idea Ryohei suggested and went back to admiring the base. Ryohei, on the other hand, is still uneasy about the matter. He knew that it would be not good to talk about this kind of things with them.

"Where did Hibari-san go?" Tsuna asked.

"He probably recognized the place and went to his own area, Boss" Gokudera replied. Tsuna saw Ryohei going the opposite direction and asked where he's going. Ryohei decided he would talk about this 'kid' stuff with Hibari and so he only told Tsuna that he's planning to see Hibari. Tsuna worriedly said he would be bitten to death but Ryohei replied he doesn't have to sweat such things. Tsuna went back to where Gokudera and Yamamoto was. He felt that Ryohei have a lot of things going on in his head for a while which is very unusual because he wouldn't normally think about things. Tsuna's concentration was interrupted when they arrived at the room in which his possessions are supposedly placed but to their surprise, the room's empty. Irie noticed the faces made by his companions and hurriedly explained the matter.

"Tsuna-san you'll be the one who'll fill this room up again, don't worry. The Ninth only instructed to build this base according to how you designed it in the future" Irie said with assurance.

"A-ah, that's okay, Irie-san. I was only surprised to find the room empty and all. A-and, I think I wouldn't be able to have the possessions my older self had… " Tsuna was thinking about how amazing he had been in the future and that his capabilities aren't even close with that of his older self.

"Boss, you will be able to fill up this room in no time since you have us to invent the things that you need" Tsuna turned around and saw Giannini wearing a proud look on his face. Tsuna mentally translated Giannini's words as 'you have us by your side to fill up those gaps in your capabilities as the Vongola successor' which gave him relief.

"I sure did missed riding the air bikes though, right, Tsuna?" Yamamoto said while imagining riding the air bike.

"Don't worry about it, we took into account to make the air bikes though…" A familiar voice was heard and all turned and saw Spanner eating his self-made candy together with his mini-mosca

"S-Spanner-san! And, mini-mosca! This surely brings back memories…" The mini-mosca went to Tsuna and handed him a candy. Tsuna is certainly happy to see the little robot again.

"Hi, young Vongola and some of his guardians; come and see the air bikes we made" Spanner said while turning left. Yamamoto dashed after him saying he wants to be the first one to ride; Gokudera followed saying Tsuna must be the first one to ride. Gianninni followed after Gokudera while Tsuna and Irie was left behind.

"By the way, Tsuna-san, Chrome-san and the others would also visit the base; they will arrive any minute now" Irie said while going after Gianninni. Tsuna was about to follow Irie when he bumped into someone.

"O-ouch! I'm sorry, I wasn't looking" Tsuna said while carefully eyeing who he bumped into.

"It's okay Tsuna-kun! Oh, have you seen Lambo? We were just searching for you when Lambo and Ipin suddenly disappeared. Haru and I- Tsuna-kun, are you okay?" Tsuna can't find his words, he can't believe Kyoko's in the base and from what he heard, Haru came together with Lambo and Ipin!

"K-kyoko-san! What are you doing here?"

"Reborn-san invited us to take care of the kids that'll be living in here"

"W-what?! W-wait, aren't you scared about this at all? Umm, have you heard details about these children?"

"Yes of course. We actually made a deal with Reborn to tell us what's going on… and, we came here to provide all of you support"

"Y-you will get in trouble if you dive into the mafia world, Kyoko-san… it's also the same with Haru and Ipin, even Lambo…" Tsuna said with a weak voice while mentally saying he must not show his weakness to Kyoko.

"Tsuna-kun, we came here out of our free will. We are involved because our friends are involved too. We wouldn't be able to just sit in a corner and wait for your fight to end. We want to fight with all of you, Tsuna-kun!" Kyoko saw Tsuna's face hardened and then he gave her a pretend smile.

"You need to support our decision, Tsuna-kun. Or else, we would boycott again this time and that would be far worse than the last one" Tsuna remembered their boycott and chuckled about the thought. Kyoko was relieved to see Tsuna's smile again, she feels uneasy every time she would see his empty smiles.

"Well, I need to look for Lambo and Ipin so, I'll see you later at the dining hall, Tsuna-kun! Chrome-chan will help us prepare food for the day." Kyoko said while waving her hand. Tsuna forgot about the air bikes completely and strolled on the opposite side of the hallway. He found himself in the lobby reminiscing things. He felt the strong sense of nostalgia in the base… it is in this place that he was strengthened; the place where he felt how to act responsibly and consider his actions well; the place in which he gathered up all the strength he could muster to protect his friends.

"You don't have time to remember the past, Tsuna. You need to ready yourself for the succession tomorrow" Reborn said while holding Leon in his hand. It seems that Leon shape-shifts every now and then which means a bad omen will or had happened. Tsuna did not mind Leon and blurted things out of nowhere.

"Re-reborn! E-even if I decided to succeed, I still wish to live a normal life. I want to still stay here in Japan" That's all Tsuna could think of saying at the moment. Reborn did not answer.

"Don't worry, Tsuna, I would handle things at the main land for you. You stay here in Japan as much as you need it, but remember you are needed at the core of the Vongola, so you better prepare yourself when that time comes" Tsuna literally jumped when he saw his dad.

"D-Dad?! What're you doing here?" Tsuna asked while staring at him.

"Don't I have the right to visit the base designed by my son? Gosh, you make me so proud!" Iemitsu said with a grin.

"You don't need to be proud, Dad…" Tsuna said with an annoyed expression.

"Tsuna! When did I taught you to talk like that?!" Nana shouted.

"M-Mom?! What are you doing here?" Tsuna said confused as to why he could see his mother inside the Vongola base.

Nana apologized to Iemitsu saying that Tsuna's in the rebellion age and Iemitsu then said to not worry about it because he understands Tsuna's case. Tsuna on the other hand, went to Reborn and whispered his questions.

"Reborn, what's going on here?"

"I figured, Mama would help Kyoko and Haru to look after the youngsters" Reborn said while staring at Leon who continually shape-shifts

"What?! But, she doesn't know anything about the Vongola right?" Reborn noticed how panicked and stressed Tsuna is from his voice. Nana saw her son's panicked face and quickly dashed toward him.

"Don't worry about it Tsu-kun, you'll always be my son, but this time, I need to look after the kids… I heard from your Dad that their parents are working overseas that's why they're here. I'll only give advices to Kyoko-san and Haru-san and would visit from time to time. Oh, by the way, Tsu-kun, I can't find Fuuta in the house for the past few days now, do you know where he is?" Tsuna was relieved his mother knows nothing about the matter; still he can't believe the story that was relayed to his mom about the kids.

"F-Fuuta's staying a week with Enma, Mom!" And here is another pathetic excuse Tsuna thought in which Nana believed in right away. Tsuna's parents then headed to the kitchen where Chrome, Kyoko, Haru, Lambo and Ipin are situated. Tsuna made sure that his parents are already far from the room, after which he stated his questions to Reborn.

"Reborn! You have a lot of explaining to do! Why did you let Kyoko and Haru know about the kids? Don't tell me you told them about the assassinations as well?! Why would you let Mom visit the base too?!" Tsuna did not mind raising his voice against his tutor. He's really angry right now because all of the people he wanted to protect from such danger are freely diving into it.

"Calm down, Tsuna. All of them are vital for the kids and for the Vongola as well. They are your support and your weakness which would help you become stronger. You need to be stronger, Tsuna; you need to have a firm ground while facing these kinds of problems" Reborn said in a very rare serious tone. The atmosphere in the room's growing tense. Tsuna was about to speak when Reborn stopped him and said he'll be organizing a meeting later. Reborn went out of the room leaving Tsuna to his thoughts.
